How do you keep dogs out of the flowers in your yard?

I planted some flowers around a tree in my backyard and my two dogs haven%26#039;t touched them. So, I planted around another tree that was next to my deck. Well it seems that they walk through these flowers! I haven%26#039;t put mulch down yet. Any way to keep the dogs out and away from my newly planted flowers?

Get a small decorative fence and put it around the flowers. also when choosing mulch do not get cocoa chips. If your dogs eat these they will get very sick! It is made from the same tree that they make chocolate from and your dog can get the same poisoning as them eating chocolate ok.





Find a all natural mulch with no dyes or coloring. I prefer cedar my self mainly because the dogs really dont like the smell and tend to leave it alone. It not only good looking but it also keeps many bugs away too!

Telling the dog no, but you can%26#039;t be there all the time.





I%26#039;ve heard to not plant Yucca because the thorns are too big but to plant something with smaller thorns. Not sure if I like that advice.





I%26#039;ve heard to put pine cones in the mulch so it%26#039;s uncomfortable to walk on and yes, there are loads of dog repellents out there.
Reply:Put a couple of yucca cactus branches in your flower garden. Once they step on them they will not return.

He loves to dig in my mulch around my Japanese Maple.


We went to Home Depot and got a few sections of that white plastic decorative fencing.





He started to enter the area after we put the fencing in, but we got him out of there and now the boundary is physical. He doesn%26#039;t go in there much now.





Just make sure that the flowers you planted in there aren%26#039;t harmful to dogs.





I have some Lilies that I planted years ago that keep popping up in the spring. He loves to mess with them, but Lilies are harmful to dogs, so I have to be vigilant about keeping him away from them.
Reply:Give yur dogs away since yur so concerced with yur flowers and nothing else... or get that invisable fence ****.
